I will start with that - this is the second movie released this year that starts with the exactly the same scene(the other one is The Bridesmaids) : a woman wakes up next to a guy after meaningless sex, goes to the bathroom and fix her look so when he wakes up he says she looks pretty in the morning. So from this scene on you know exactly what this movie is about, because each one of us has watched this story over and over again but with different titles. It is all about weddings and women that feel incomplete if they are not married or haven't found the perfect guy. So someone else going to get married in the movie but the main character and she is so miserable. Along the way of the movie there is this cute guy (who either is with a perfect body or is a total nerd)gets her heart, but he still is not the perfect one according to her standards, so he got dumped for the rich and smart and the one who wants to marry her. And because this is a romantic comedy formula repeated to death, after the little twist of course the cute guy wins and they finish with a kiss. So not only this story is one and the same in a lot of movies but in its core it is about only one person whose personality is tried to be imposed over all women, being portrayed as pathetic and incomplete human beings if they don't have a partner in life.
